Exploration of differentially-expressed exosomal mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs from serum samples of gallbladder cancer and xantho-granulomatous cholecystitis patients.

ABSTRACT: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common biliary tract malignancy worldwide. Although a growing number of studies have explored the mechanism of GBC, thus far, few molecules have been discovered that can be utilized as specific biomarkers for the early diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of GBC. Recent studies have shown that exosomes not only participate in the progression of tumors, but also carry specific information that can define multiple cancer types. The present study investigated the expression profiles of coding (or messenger) ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs, including long non-coding RNAs [lncRNAs] and circular RNAs [circRNAs]) in plasma-derived exosomes from GBC patients. Using high-throughput RNA sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analysis, a numb
